He has never recommended voting for a politician who doesn't believe in climate change. He once said that if you want a split congress you have to vote for the party not in control of congress but that's a very different thing than telling someone to vote for a politician who doesn't believe in climate change

    Publicly stating you voted for somebody is not the same as recommending somebody vote for the same person. You could perhaps claim it is implicit, but that is rather flimsy.

      That is the definition of an endorsement.

      Those are some impressive mental gymnastics. Musk is showing you who and what he is. Believe him.
